SPITZER, Jesse abt 1855 - 1924

Jesse Spitzer, the Huntingdale merchant, dropped dead in the door of Gaines store 
about 7 p.m. Saturday evening. He and his brother, A. A. Spitzer, had driven from 
Huntingdale to near Gaines to look after some stock. They ran out of gasoline and 
walked on to the farm, then over to the store to get gasoline and call home to say 
they had arrived safely. Jast as they got to the door Mr. Spitzer dropped dead. For 
some time he had been suffering with hardening of the arteries. It is thought the 
over exertion caused the end to come so quickly. Mr. Spitzer was 69 years old and 
is survived by his widow, Mrs. Kate Spitzer; his daughter, Mrs. Eva Maden, at 
Boyse City, Oklahoma, and one brother, A. A. Spitzer, of Kansas City. Deceased had 
been in the mercantile business in Huntingdale about 25 years and was a member 
of the M. W. A. He was a sueful and upright citizen, good and kind to all about him. 
His funeral was held at the Huntindale church Monday morning, after which he 
was laid in the Swindle cemetery.
